Hi all,

My database nls settings are defined as below. and the nls_lang seetings in the windows 2000 machine registry is AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8. But when I export I get the follwoing error as I must be missing something:

Connected to: Oracle8i Release 8.1.7.0.0 - Production JServer Release 8.1.7.0.0 - Production
Export done in WE8ISO8859P1 character set and UTF8 NCHAR character set server uses UTF8 character set (possible charset conversion)

PARAMETER VALUE

NLS_LANGUAGE AMERICAN NLS_TERRITORY AMERICA NLS_CURRENCY $ NLS_ISO_CURRENCY AMERICA NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS ., NLS_CHARACTERSET UTF8 NLS_CALENDAR GREGORIAN NLS_DATE_FORMAT DD-MON-RR NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE AMERICAN NLS_SORT BINARY NLS_TIME_FORMAT HH.MI.SSXFF AM NLS_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT DD-MON-RR HH.MI.SSXFF AM NLS_TIME_TZ_FORMAT HH.MI.SSXFF AM TZH:TZM NLS_TIMESTAMP_TZ_FORMAT DD-MON-RR HH.MI.SSXFF AM TZH:TZM NLS_DUAL_CURRENCY $ NLS_COMP BINARY NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET UTF8 NLS_RDBMS_VERSION 8.1.7.0.0 Any help would be appreciated to spare me from the characther conversions.
